I've only played about 2 and a half hours so far, but the game so far is everything I've been hoping it would be since its original reveal. The combat is excellent, the graphics are ludicrously detailed, and the story is quite a bit more interesting than I expected it to be. Aloy (to me) is a great character, and the robots are smart and extremely fun to battle. 

 

Are there negatives? Sure, every game has negatives. As others have said, the facial animations, as with Until Dawn (the last game to use the Decima engine) can either be excellent or a bit strange looking. There's no way I've found to switch shoulders while aiming (though this may just be me not being able to find the option) and humans, so far, have been much less fun to fight than the robot dinos. The positives, however, far outweigh these annoyances and I would highly recommend the game. 

exactly, the negatives are not that bad, if you compare this game with the first game of other franchises Horizon is a great achievement, the core game is high quality stuff.

Why should it matter if it's the first game or not? I'm not going to cut Nintendo any slack in Zelda for things I want in an open world game. I'm not going to give it a pass for something that is common place or makes open world games better being missing.

Nintendo and Guerilla Games had a multitude of Open world games to look at, play, test, read what people like/hate, ect to implement them into their games. Nintendo has came out and said they played and looked at the open world games out there to help, adn I'm assuming GG people have too. Thus they should be implementing current open world game stuff and thus not be compared to Assassins Creed 1 or Morrowind or something.

They should be compared to current games. Whether its their first open world outing or not.
